Is Ozzy really missing? Probably not… maybe he’s just busy?

Leave a comment

The gossip news media are making ridiculous claims that Ozzy has been cheating on Sharon with a celebrity hairstylist and now the media is claiming that Ozzy has been missing lately ever since he moved out of Sharon’s house.

I’m thinking all of these claims are pretty ridiculous and false. Give it time, I think Ozzy will put out a statement shooting down both of these rumors pretty soon. Ozzy is usually quick at shooting down rumors about him. I’m sure he’s okay and I’m sure there’s nothing wrong with him.

Keep in mind that gossip media always loved to make Ozzy look bad. That’s what these gossip sites are paid to do. If the news turn out to be true then oh well… I wish Ozzy nothing but the best and hope he gets well.

Love Ozzy or hate him all you want to, you can’t deny his legacy and his contributions to the metal industry. He really is a metal legend and a pioneer. I’m sure we’ll hear from him this week.

Maybe Sharon and Ozzy aren’t splitting and they’re still together. Who knows? We’ll have to wait and find out.

Is Ozzy and Sharon done for good???

Leave a comment

I usually stay away from celebrity gossip and stuff like that but since this has something to do with the music industry, I felt it was worth getting my thoughts on. So is Ozzy and Sharon done for good? That’s according to the E! website who first reported the news and E! is all celebrity gossip so I wouldn’t be quick into believing this news yet.

If it’s true that Ozzy and Sharon are splitting then that’s good. Like most, I never liked Sharon Osbourne. In my opinion, I think she messed up Ozzy’s solo career by that stupid TV show, “The Osbournes”. I think Sharon totally used Ozzy just so she can get rich & famous herself. She’s a golddigger, indeed. I also believe Sharon messed up the Black Sabbath reunion which is why Bill Ward wouldn’t rejoin.

Why would Ozzy and Sharon split after over 30 years of marriage? Is Ozzy really cheating on her? If so I can’t blame him at all ’cause she must be driving him crazy. Sharon’s a bitch and egotistical. Since Ozzy and Sharon might be splitting then that would mean that Sharon would no longer be Ozzy’s manager for his solo career. Sharon is not only Ozzy’s wife, she’s also been a manager for him for over 30 years as well. This means that Ozzy might have to get a new manager.

Is Ozzy and Sharon splitting for good? We’ll have to wait and find out. Maybe Ozzy himself would shoot these rumors down soon, who knows? We’ll have to wait and see. I hope they are splitting ’cause I can’t stand Sharon. Ozzy’s better off without her.

Black Sabbath, the Ozzy era…

4 Comments

Over the weekend, I’ve just listened to the rest of the Ozzy era Black Sabbath albums on Apple Music. While I’ve been a longtime Sabbath fan, I’ve only heard a few Ozzy era Sabbath albums like their first album, Paranoid, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Masters of Reality, Sabbath Vol. 4, and their latest album 13. I got around to listening to the rest of Ozzy era Sabbath albums over the weekend: Sabotage, Technical Ecstasy, and Never Say Die.

All Ozzy Sabbath albums are really great but I think their best albums are: Paranoid, “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath”, “Sabbath Vol. 4” and their new one “13”. I would say their newest album, “13” would be my favorite ’cause it is a really great album.

So far there are only 9 Ozzy era Sabbath albums and their planning to end their career with a 10th Ozzy album which is perfect to end their career on.

Black Sabbath went through 8 singers over the years but it’s pretty appropriate to end their career with Ozzy as frontman since he helped started the band.

I can’t wait for Sabbath’s next album. I think their next record is gonna sound different than 13 ’cause remember… Black Sabbath always liked to sound different in every album they did. You never know what they have in store for their next record. Each album they do, they usually do like 7 or 8 tracks ’cause they always write pretty long songs. I’m sure their next record is gonna be great like always. It’ll be full of tasteful riffs by Tony ’cause he is the riffmaster.

Black Sabbath has a total of 19 albums so they’ll be ending their career on their 20th album which is good. Sabbath had a good run. It’s sad that they have to end this soon but Tony’s health isn’t getting any better. I’m a huge Sabbath fan though and respect the hell out of Tony Iommi ’cause he’s a favorite guitarist of mine.

Hopefully they give us a heavy album for their next record. Give fans what they want before they go out.

As for the other singers in Sabbath goes, I was only a fan of the Ozzy era and the Ronnie James Dio era. The Dio era in Sabbath was great too. I never listened to much of all the other singers but I should check ’em out, though.

Bill Ward vs. Black Sabbath feud continues…

Leave a comment

Yesterday, Bill Ward of Black Sabbath posted this. Still bitching about that “signable” contract in order for him to re-join…

Ozzy responds, calling Bill Ward out and even went as far as bashing him publicly… read it here, it’s actually pretty funny and I can totally see him saying this in his typical Ozzy voice…

I don’t know too much about the industry and all but from what I understand, there is no “signable” contract when playing in bands in the national industry is there? I don’t think so. I don’t think members sign on to join bands. When people join bands in the major labels, the musicians ask if you wanna join and that’s it. I believe there is nothing “signable”. When legendary bands reunite, they don’t sign anything. They just get together just like any band would, ya know?

So I think Bill is full of shit when he claims he should sign a negotiable contract. I think he’s definitely has something to hide like his health problems like Ozzy has been saying.

I wish fans would wake up, get themselves educated and stop siding with Bill ’cause they shouldn’t trust him either. Bill is just being a greedy douchebag and I’ve been saying that ever since this feud started. The guys in Sabbath will welcome Bill back in the band anytime, Bill is just being greedy and difficult about it. Ozzy and Bill are both telling their sides of the story.

Why can’t Bill stop this “signable” contract bullshit and just play? Isn’t that what music is about is playing for the love of it? Maybe Ozzy is right that Bill is just using his “signable” contract excuses as a cover for his health problems.

I feel a big lawsuit battle coming. Who’s gonna sue first?

Aimee Osbourne starts her own music career without the help of “The Osbournes” TV show…

Leave a comment

When the Osbourne family did their reality show for “The Osbournes” on MTV (which only lasted for 3 seasons), the rest of the Osbourne family became famous ’cause of the show. Sharon, Kelly, and Jack became famous and they got a huge career boost with the help of their show. Kelly started a music career of her own and Jack Osbourne started his own record label. However, there is one more Osbourne in the family that refused to be part of “The Osbournes” TV show and that is Aimee Osbourne. Why did she refuse to be a part of the show? Well, she didn’t feel comfortable being a part of fame and Hollywood. She wanted to get fame but NOT in that way. She didn’t want to get fame that quick. She wanted to get fame the real way and take her time with it. She just didn’t want to get fame the same way Ozzy and the rest of the family got fame.

http://nypost.com/2015/03/28/ozzy-osbournes-unknown-daughter-is-about-to-make-it-big/

So it looks like Aimee is coming out with an album of her own and here is her first single in the video below. The song “Raining Gold” is pretty nice. I actually dig it.

What Aimee did here was awesome and she’s such an inspiration for it. That’s how you get fame is start off small and make your way up to it. Not get quick easy fame like the rest of the Osbournes did. She got a career the real and honest way. That’s being humble and respectful.

Wish other music artists can learn from Aimee on how to get fame instead of using reality TV and all of these garbage music competitions (like American Idol, America’s Got Talent, The Voice, etc.) to get quick easy fame.

Back in the 60’s and up to the early 90’s, it was very hard to get fame but these days it seems to be very easy which is sad.

Ozzy still hopes Bill Ward will be part of the upcoming farewell reunion…

Leave a comment

Black Sabbath is not quite finished with their career yet. They have one last album and one last tour in the works; however, the band still wants Bill Ward to be a part of it. The reason? Ozzy simply wants the four original members to finish what they started.

Bill bailed out on the last reunion ’cause he complained that he didn’t get a negotiable contract so Sabbath went ahead without him. Why? Why did Sabbath go ahead without Bill Ward and didn’t give him what he requested? Was Bill asking for too much money? That’s probably it!

Like most fans, I’m hoping they bring Bill back ’cause Sabbath deserves to go out with it’s founding members. I’m sure Bill still can kill it on the drums. I just wish he would stop being so strict and greedy. It’s just music, Bill!!! Who needs a negotiable contract!!! Just go up there and play!!! The end!!!

Is Tony Iommi done with Black Sabbath??? Not yet…

Leave a comment

Tony Iommi maybe suffering cancer right now but even that is not slowing him down. He is just going to keep playing music until he can’t. Ozzy says that Black Sabbath is planning one last studio album and tour in 2015. The album will feature Tony, Geezer and Ozzy in the line-up still. Will Bill Ward be on board for the final Sabbath album? Who knows. We’ll have to wait and see what Bill says. He’s probably still gonna say “no” until Sabbath gives him what he wants, a negotiable contract but anyway, even if Bill doesn’t want in… who cares. Sabbath have went through so many members over the years.

Anyway, the next Sabbath album will be considered the 20th Sabbath album and would be the 10th album w/ Ozzy as singer.

I thought Sabbath’s latest album, “13” was pretty sick but it could have been heavier and darker. Hopefully, the next one will be a lot heavier. “13” was still a great album, though.

Even with cancer, Tony is still a pretty amazing guitarist and he can still come up with badass guitar riffs and play ripping solos. I’m sure he’ll do the same with the next album.

Celebrity news

Kelly Osbourne shows herself off with no make-up at all…

Kelly Osbourne who is known as the daughter of rock legend, Ozzy Osbourne, just dropped this photo on her official facebook page today. I must say this was pretty ballsy of her to do and she was very brave to do that!!!

In the land of Hollywood, celebs are obsessed with make-up. They wear make-up as a way to look beautiful as a celebrity and a way to hide their ugly looks. Well, Kelly doesn’t look ugly at all. She still looks gorgeous.

She does look a lot like her father Ozzy without the make-up. She has a little bit of Sharon on her face too.

I know it may seem weird that I support Kelly Osbourne but I’m a fan of hers believe it or not. I watched “The Osbournes” reality show and I find her the most inspirational out of the family. She’s an interesting woman and she’s talented too. I like her music admittedly especially her duet with Ozzy for the song “Changes”, phenomenal stuff. I wish she would put out another album ’cause she’s good at the music thing.

Black Sabbath’s “13”, I think is the best album released this year… so far, anyway…

Leave a comment

When I first heard the new Black Sabbath album, “13”, I was like… eh? It’s okay but could have been better but now I think this album is the best album released this year. It’s definitely a grower for sure. I can’t stop listening to this album. I’m always throwing it on my CD player and keep coming back to it. This is the best thing that Ozzy has done in a long long time and I’m very proud of him. Really, I am. Ozzy’s solo career haven’t been that great over the years and now that Sabbath is back — he’s back to making kick ass music again. The songwriting is really good on this album. Tony still has the great riffs and the sick guitar solos. Sabbath still has the vintage heavy sound they’ve always had; however, they have a more modern sound this time around. They want to fit with the current metal sound a little bit which is a good idea. They don’t sound as scary and dark anymore like they used to but this album is still a pretty sick album. Loved it. Ozzy, Tony, and Geezer still has it.

As far as Bill Ward goes, who needs him? Sabbath has went through like 20 different drummers over the years, and don’t blame the band for the Bill Ward departure. Black Sabbath said repeatedly in interviews that they really wanted Bill to be a part of this reunion but Bill wanted no part of it. It was all Bill’s decision alone that he wanted out. It’s lame blaming Sharon Osbourne for this too. Band lineups changes over the years, it happens. Despite Bill not being in the band, their new album, “13”, was no. 1 in various charts all over the world… and that includes the Billboard Top 200 in the US. So the album is successful without Bill, anyways, so who needs him, right?

Congratulations to Black Sabbath. After a 30-50 year career… everyone still loves Sabbath.

I don’t see this album being the final Sabbath album ’cause the guys have been talking about doing more after this one. As long as Tony is still alive, they’ll keep doing what they do. I’ve always loved Sabbath with Ozzy fronting. Dio-Sabbath was cool too, though.

Black Sabbath being successful proves that metal can get big again. I wish metal would take over the mainstream again.

Report: Black Sabbath to release their new album “13” in June…

2 Comments

Black Sabbath, announced on their official website today, that they will release their new studio album with all new original songs, titled, “13” in June. The album has the original members of Sabbath including Ozzy, Tony Iommi, and Geezer Butler, except for Bill Ward who declined to be a part of this reunion. The band also released a Greatest Hits album, and announced a short Australian tour.

One thing to keep in mind though, that this could be the last and final Black Sabbath album ever. Why? Because of Tony’s lymphoma cancer. Tony could possibly die soon, and when it’s his time to go, it’ll probably be the end of Sabbath completely ’cause Sabbath was his band. Tony has been an important part of Sabbath for years, even if he’s gone through too many band members. Tony can have other musician replacements in the band, but you can’t replace Tony. Tony is what defines Sabbath’s sound. I can’t see the band going on without him. Even the band members knows that this could be the last days of Sabbath which is why they put out a greatest hits album too and booked a small tour. So these are signs that they are preparing Tony to die. They just want the best of him and make Tony happy before he goes.

Still though, with or without Bill Ward, it’s still gonna be a great fuckin’ album, and I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy. I’m sure Tony is capable of giving us an album full of badass guitar riffs and great solos, despite the cancer. I’m sure Ozzy will still sing great, and I’m sure the lyrics for the new Sabbath album, will be dark and scary.

It’s really sad about, Tony Iommi. The guy is one of the guitar greats, who is responsible for creating the genre, heavy metal, that we all grew up and love. If he passes later this year, it’s going to be a big loss in the music industry. The best we can do is support Black Sabbath, and Tony as much as we can. Their career deserves to go out on a positive note.  Can’t wait for their new album. I’m definitely getting it. I’m sure, the band will release their first new single soon.
